Curated Conversations: Leveraging Data to Inform Programming
CanWaCH is committed to creating an environment for practitioners to gather, discuss challenges, share best practices, and exchange knowledge. To further promote this, our curated conversations will provide a dedicated open space for participants to engage in dialogue, share projects and ask questions.
Each conversation will start with a short discussion between experts in the sector. They will set the context by identifying gaps and challenges in data collection on a specific thematic area, and opportunities to better leverage data to inform programming. Participants will then move to breakout rooms to engage in deeper discussions, which will be facilitated by the speakers.
Please note that you have to register for each event individually.
September 11 from 11 am to 12 pm ET: From Evidence to Action: Using Data to Prevent and Respond to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)
On September 11, join us from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT for an engaging conversation on leveraging data to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Speakers will explore how data is crucial for understanding the magnitude of SGBV globally and its role in informing policies and programs. The discussion will also consider how data can be usedto monitor progress and identify gaps in SGBV programming, highlighting its ability (and shortfalls) in accounting for older women, women with disabilities, or Indigenous women.
In breakout rooms, participants will engage in a facilitated discussion around best practices to address SGBV, including ways to effectively use the data we collect to improve programs.
